StubHub CEO Profits From Ticket Scalpers on His Own Platform

StubHub's CEO Eric Baker owns a stake in a fund that lends money to bulk ticket resellers operating on his platform, according to SEC filings reviewed by CBC News. This creates a conflict: Baker profits both as the platform operator and as an investor backing high-volume sellers. StubHub markets itself as serving fans, a claim complicated by its leadership's financial interest in scalping operations.
